Tarun was honestly the best trainer/coach that I've had in 20 years in the IT profession. He covered the EA/TOGAF material and had real life examples to make everything completely understandable. He listened to my professional concerns and questions and offered advice/suggestions from his years of experience. He genuinely cared about my understanding and was truly a mentor in so many areas related to EA and beyond enterprise architecture. His willingness to share his experiences and his passion to help others grow was very evident and so appreciated. Thank you so very much for the awesome week!

It was a really insightful and resourceful training session on the lean six sigma green belt. The trainer swati was very knowledgeable on the lean six sigma concept and was able to transfer the knowledge across effectively. I would recommend sprintzeal to my colleagues and friends.
